[1.12.2] Registering Fluids and Materials

[DiamondMiner88]

This is probably a stupid question but, how do i register Fluids and FluidMaterials?

As what i have done now is register the fluid with

EventSubscriber

Fluid class

I don't get how to make an fluid block because i use @ObjectHolder

How do i register Materials? Any material?

What event?

Since you are registering your fluid in a block registry event use a local variable.

What's a material in this context? Could you please elaborate?

Like this?

public static final Block MOLTEN_GLASS_BLACK = new BlockFluidClassic(ModFluids.FLUID_MOLTEN_GLASS_BLACK, ModMaterials.MOLTEN_GLASS);

public static final Material MOLTEN_GLASS = new MaterialLiquid(MapColor.GREEN_STAINED_HARDENED_CLAY);

Why did you immediately jump to a static initializer when I said "local variable"? If you don't know what a local variable is then you need to learn basic java.

You absolutely, 100% must not do this. 

Use one of the vanilla fluid materials provided, water or lava. If you need a custom color then use the constructor that takes a MapColor as an argument, or override Block#getMapColor

Sorry, i copied it off a tutorial, and is there a way to have it in a separate class? Because i want it to be organized what i did is make in a separate class and register it like i did with the others.

What if you want to make the fluid not push the player, but also damage it on contact and color the screen when in / under the fluid; also enabling the air bar near the inventory slots?

 

Did i register the Fluid correctly?

EDIT: As i understand you don't need to register materials like blocks. I pieced together stuff and it apparently works.

So everything is working now? If not, I had the same issue and figured it out on my own so I might be able to help you (same tutorial). Any other issues you might be having, for example, the color of the fluid not changing (had that problem, but looked at some of other mods source code and figured it out) I might be able to help.
